Joining HPAC for the First Time

Welcome to the beautiful sport of hang gliding, paragliding and speedflying in Canada.

For persons wishing to take up the sport in Canada, please connect with an instructor or school in your region. You will be offered a course of instruction toward a rating in accordance with SOP 410 Pilot Ratings.

In order to be able to register for membership, you will need an HPAC-certified instructor to send in your application/rating form.

If you are a rated pilot moving to Canada from another country, please connect with an HPAC-certified instructor in your region of residence and present your foreign rating(s), logbooks, etc. They will discuss the steps to take to receive your Canadian rating.
